<h4 class="subsubsection">6.60.13.1 Argument Types</h4>

<p>The arguments to the built-in functions can be divided into three groups:
register numbers, compile-time constants and run-time values.  In order
to make this classification clear at a glance, the arguments and return
values are given the following pseudo types:
</p>
<table>
<thead><tr><th width="20%">Pseudo type</th><th width="30%">Real C type</th><th width="15%">Constant?</th><th width="35%">Description</th></tr></thead>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>uh</code></td><td width="30%"><code>unsigned short</code></td><td width="15%">No</td><td width="35%">an unsigned halfword</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>uw1</code></td><td width="30%"><code>unsigned int</code></td><td width="15%">No</td><td width="35%">an unsigned word</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>sw1</code></td><td width="30%"><code>int</code></td><td width="15%">No</td><td width="35%">a signed word</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>uw2</code></td><td width="30%"><code>unsigned long long</code></td><td width="15%">No</td><td width="35%">an unsigned doubleword</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>sw2</code></td><td width="30%"><code>long long</code></td><td width="15%">No</td><td width="35%">a signed doubleword</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>const</code></td><td width="30%"><code>int</code></td><td width="15%">Yes</td><td width="35%">an integer constant</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>acc</code></td><td width="30%"><code>int</code></td><td width="15%">Yes</td><td width="35%">an ACC register number</td></tr>
<tr><td width="20%"><code>iacc</code></td><td width="30%"><code>int</code></td><td width="15%">Yes</td><td width="35%">an IACC register number</td></tr>
</table>

<p>These pseudo types are not defined by GCC, they are simply a notational
convenience used in this manual.
</p>
<p>Arguments of type <code>uh</code>, <code>uw1</code>, <code>sw1</code>, <code>uw2</code>
and <code>sw2</code> are evaluated at run time.  They correspond to
register operands in the underlying FR-V instructions.
</p>
<p><code>const</code> arguments represent immediate operands in the underlying
FR-V instructions.  They must be compile-time constants.
</p>
<p><code>acc</code> arguments are evaluated at compile time and specify the number
of an accumulator register.  For example, an <code>acc</code> argument of 2
selects the ACC2 register.
</p>
<p><code>iacc</code> arguments are similar to <code>acc</code> arguments but specify the
number of an IACC register.  See see <a href="Other-Built_002din-Functions.html#Other-Built_002din-Functions">Other Built-in Functions</a>
for more details.
